[Bug libc/11418] New: iconv/gconv: "illegal input sequence at position"/incomplete implementation

["svenboden at hotmail dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Doing a conversion from HP to Linux (Red Hat/Ubuntu) shows some encodings on
Linux are incomplete. Or at at least they show unexpected behaviour.

Using "\xc3\xbc\x73", which is a UTF-8 string of "u umlaut" followed by an "s".

Doing the following works
printf "\xc3\xbc\x73" | iconv -f utf8 -t ISO-8859-15

Doing the following doesn't work 
printf "\xc3\xbc\x73" | iconv -f utf8 -t EUC-KR
and output "iconv: illegal input sequence at position 0"

While following works:
printf "\xc3\xbc\x73" | iconv -f utf8 -t EUC-CN

On HP-UX all of the above generate proper output. Since UTF-8 is used as input
in all cases it seems strange iconv/gconv thinks the input is wrong (errno 84)
in the EUC-KR case. Converting to US-ASCII has the same problem as converting to
EUC-KR.
